Chapter 170

How can a woman not like treasures? Moreover, it is such a rare treasure, which is given by someone who loves something. Fan Min held the spar in the palm of her hand very preciously, this is, the spar is no longer cold, it has become warm, and it also makes her heart full of sweetness.

The next day, Tang Yin set off and went to Yancheng, for fear of arousing suspicion on the way, he didn't bring too many people, and came out with the three Shangguan brothers, twenty members of the dark arrow who had cultivated to at least reach the spiritual realm, and more than a dozen disciples, and did not bring anyone else.

There were only more than 30 of them, dressed as business travelers, and they rode fast horses all night.

From Tianguan to Yancheng, first, on the way, you have to pass through three counties, namely Guannan County, Jinguang County, and Lehu County. Guannan County is close to Tianguan, although its county head has expressed his loyalty to Zhong Tian, but after all, the Tiangao Emperor is far away, and he said so, the second actually did not put it into action, that is, in order to send troops to attack Tianguan, he did not show hostility to Tianyuan County headed by Tang Yin, and the entire Guannan County was still the same as before, and even the whole county did not even do it on guard. After passing the south of the Guan, entering the boundary of Jinguang County, the cities here began to be under martial law, the night curfew, the tense atmosphere gradually became stronger, and when I entered Lehu County, I really felt that the big war was approaching.

Geng Qiang is Zhong Tian's fast general, Lingwu cultivation to reach the Lingyuan realm, brave and good at fighting, ten yuan fierce general, but brutal, stubborn, self-serving, does not understand internal affairs, is not suitable to be a county guard, Zhong Tian reuses him only because of his loyalty enough.

After Geng Qiang became the county guard, the people of Lehu lived in dire straits. Geng Qiang controlled speech with an iron and bloody hand, and planted secret agents in his death place, once he found that there were people talking about Zhong Tian with dissatisfaction, there was no need for a trial at noon, either he was directly arrested by the government and beheaded or someone was sent to assassinate him.

At that time, the speech was very open, even ordinary literati and even ordinary people could directly write to the king, put forward their own ideas on national affairs, whether the king accepted it or not, he would never kill the literati or people who wrote the book, and now the situation in Lehu County has completely changed, a sentence can decide a person's life and death, in this highly tense situation, everyone's nerves are tense to the extreme, people's dissatisfaction is suppressed on the surface, but in fact they are transferred to the dark, people hate Zhong Tian even more, and they also miss the enlightenment of the Fengwang period even more。

When Tang Yin and his entourage entered Lehu County, they felt that this place had simply changed, not that the scenery had changed, but that the people had changed, the previous Lehu County was very lively, people came and went, and business travel was like a tide, and now, even if they were on the street in broad daylight, they could not see a few people, all on time Piles of soldiers holding spears and patrolling the streets.

The military uniforms of the guards have changed, originally the wind army was dressed in black clothes and black armor, but now it has become red clothes and red armor, looking at the soldiers in new clothes, Tang Yin sneered in his heart, it seems that Zhong Tian really wants to change the country of wind into the country of Peng, it is not enough for the country name and flag to change, even the military uniform must be changed.

As the saying goes, if the heavens want to die, they will make them crazy.

After Tang Yin and the others entered the city, they found a restaurant, ordered some food, and filled their stomachs first.

The restaurant was deserted, the shopkeeper dozed listlessly, and Tang Yin and his party didn't wake him up when they came in.

Tang Yin glanced at it, then walked directly into the store, sat down at a table near the window, Cheng Jin walked to the front of the shopkeeper, knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Wake up, wake up!"

The shopkeeper opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that there were so many people in the store at once, and some of them couldn't react. Question: "Are you ......?"

"Isn't this a restaurant? Come in to eat, of course you are still doing business?" Cheng Jin's brows twisted into a pimple.

Xiao Er finally came to his senses, nodded and said in a continuous voice: "Do,

Sit, sit, guests, what do you want to eat?"

Cheng Jin said: "Let's take a hundred trowels first, fifty catties of beef, just half of the beef, and we will take the other half ......."

The shopkeeper grinned when he heard this, and said with a dry smile: "I'm sorry, guest officer, there is not so much beef in the shop." ”

"What?" Cheng Jin raised his eyebrows, he only asked for fifty catties of beef, not five hundred catties, how could such a big restaurant not have it? He sneered and asked rhetorically: "Do you think we can't afford to pay and will eat overlord meals?"

"No, no, no, the guest officer misunderstood. The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said with a wry smile: "Guest officer, yourself, how can there be customers in the store now? There are not many people coming all day and night, so the small shop has not prepared so much beef." ”

Cheng Jin blinked, looked around left and right, isn't it, such a big restaurant, dozens of tables, in addition to the thirty or so people, there are only two diners, you must know that it is noon time, and it should be the time when business is booming. He shook his head slightly and raised his eyes to look at Tang Yin.

The latter said softly: "If you don't have it, forget it, just go on whatever you have, as long as you can fill your stomach!"

Cheng Jin nodded and said to the shopkeeper: "My family is ...... Did you hear what the young master said?go and prepare!" After speaking, he secretly stuck out his tongue, and almost said it himself, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and changed it in time.

"Okay, wait a minute!" the shopkeeper agreed and walked away quickly.

Cheng Jin sat down beside Tang Yin and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that in just a few months, Lehu County would become like this. ”

Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and sneered, without saying much.

It didn't take long, the shopkeeper sent trowels and side dishes, the trowels were dry and hard, and they couldn't be said to be put for a few days, and the taste of the side dishes was not very good, and everyone frowned while eating.

Because the food did not fit well, Tang Yin and the others also ate quickly, and just when everyone was about to finish eating, a team of officers and soldiers walked in from outside.

There were only a dozen officers and soldiers, and it was like a patrol squad here. A squad leader of the Tao has his eyes and bones spinning, evil and beggar, but his evil spirit is different from Tang Yin's evil spirit, Tang Yin's evil spirit is murderous and crazy, while his evil spirit is full of frivolity.

Seeing that there were officers and soldiers coming in suddenly, Cheng Jin and the others were shocked, although they continued to eat, their other hand was slowly put under the table, grabbed the saber hidden in their waists, and prepared to rush to attack if something went wrong.

Tang Yin was much calmer than everyone else, since the officers and soldiers came in, he didn't look much, he didn't even lift his eyelids, and still lowered his head and ate his meal quickly.

The team leader raised his eyes to look around the restaurant, and then asked in an unkind tone, "Who are those horses outside?"

Secretly saying that it was troublesome, Cheng Jin stood up, arched his hand at the team leader, and said with a smile: "It's a villain." ”

"Oh?" the team leader tilted his head and looked Cheng Jin up and down, and asked, "What are you doing with so many horses?"

"The villain is a trader, and the horse is naturally a hauler. ”

"Pulling goods?" The team leader snorted, walked up to He Jin, and said, "Why didn't I see your goods?"

"It's all sold, and we're ready to go home now. ”

"Quipble!" the squad leader sneered: "Do you have a bad plan to read it quickly on your mobile phone?"

Cheng Mian's eyes suddenly flashed, and he didn't say a hexagram, but his hand had quietly touched his waist, making a gesture to draw the knife, Tang Yin was behind him, grabbed the palm of his hand that was about to draw the knife, and pinched it hard, signaling that he didn't need to do anything, at the same time, Tang Yin also got up, and said with a smile: "We are indeed passing through here on business, and I hope that the general will travel more conveniently." As he spoke, he took out an extra cushion of silver in his hand and handed it to the team leader.

The squad leader has never been called a general in his life, and after listening to Tang Yin's words, he was naturally very useful, coupled with the silver handed in front of him, his gloomy face suddenly became bright, and he took Tang Yin's silver without leaving a trace, stuffed it into his belt, and then pretended to say: "It's not been peaceful recently, during this time, it's best not to come out, just stay at home honestly!"

"Yes! What the general says is true!" Tang Yin said with a smile.

The squad leader nodded with satisfaction, turned around and raised his head to his soldiers, and said, "Don't be nervous, they are all ordinary merchants." As soon as they swept the money, Tang Yin and the others immediately changed from misdeeds to ordinary businessmen, which shows how powerful money is.

Hearing the captain's words, the soldiers put down their spears one after another, and their expressions returned to normal.

The team leader picked up a steamed bun casually, took a bite, turned his head and spit it out, threw the steamed bun aside, and muttered, "What the hell." With that, he walked over to the other two diners and asked, "What are you two doing?"

"Master Jun, villains are also businessmen!"

"Oh, I don't see it!" the team leader squinted at the two of them with his hands behind his back.

These two merchants were not as good as Tang Yin, and they couldn't take out so much silver. The two of them said in a loud voice: "Master Jun, we are really in class, and we have ...... certificates" As they spoke, the two took out the businessman's unique book from their arms and handed it to the team leader.

Seeing that he couldn't get any benefits from the two of them, the team leader was furious, took the book, tore it up without even reading it, and said in a cold voice: "What bullshit book, Lao Tzu sees that you two are ghosts!" As he spoke, he turned his head sideways and shouted: "Take these two people away for me, and press them back for interrogation!"

Brother Shangguan, Cheng Jin and the others all frowned when they saw this, and subconsciously clenched their fists.

This is a group of officers and soldiers, no wonder Lehu County is so depressed now, most of the shops are closed, and they are all caused by these Zhongtian's lackeys.

Tang Yin was not as indignant as everyone else, and after sitting down, he said softly: "Regardless of our business, sit down and continue to eat." ”
